Have you seen the ones where you drill a 1"-2" hole
Down about 10" then a horizontal hole to meet up.
Log stove.

If you've got bigger diameter logs (maybe over 1 foot?) You can make 4 bore cuts down from the top, then 1 from the side near the bottom, and lift out the middle part which should be a long square section the width of the chainsaw bar. Then you can light a fire in the middle with kindling, and keep adding small logs.

 

Not very easy to describe, don't think I've got any photos on the computer

Cut from the side, not the top. Gives you masses of lovely shavings to use for firelighting. I light mine by dropping coals from the BBQ down from the top - need to make more - plan is to strap them to the forks on the tractor so I can cut down without hitting anything
